Yes, we know the Aussies sledge and ‘abuse‘ opponents. Boo-f00ken-hoo.

SMG now says, and I quote ‘’a ‘hot head guy’ might actually whack the Australian cricketers if they dared replicate their on-field behaviour in a bar'’.

Mr. G, I would like to see any hot head guy try and pick on Haydos or Symonds. Or maybe they would have liked to pick on the small feller, Langer, who I think, happened to be a  black belt at Tai-chi or Judo or something similar.

Mr.G, who once, many moons ago decided to walk off the field because he was ‘wrongly‘ given out to Dennis Lillee, now says he walked because he was ‘abused’ by the Aussies. Bet you ten bucks he has no idea what a stiff-upper-lip is!

And lastly - the Aussies abuse? And sledge? Mr.G, you simply MUST watch the first ball Zaheer Khan bowled to Haydos in the last Cup final. He bowled it, beat Haydos and then proceeded to have a chirp. I am not a lip reader but I know Zaheer wasn’t asking Haydos if he wanted a side order of fries to go with that. I remember clearly, the Aussies abusing us back. With their bats. Especially Punter. Haah!

The Aussies sledge and get some back in return. Why, legend has it that Parthiv Patel had a go at Steve Waugh in his final test innings - it was another matter altogether that Parthiv Patel didn’t have anything to say after Waugh’s retort. 

SMG - You were a great. You scored a 34 Test hundreds. You were the first person to get to 10000 test runs. Great. You even had an ugly skull cap. Hurrah. Now, pipe down son, the games are on!

Rigged!
